Those Wacky Aussies!

2 Men Agreed to Shoot Each Other in the Butt, Need Surgery
Two Australian men required surgery Tuesday after shooting each other in the buttocks as part of a drunken pact to see if it would hurt.

The two friends, both 34, from the Grampians region in Victoria, Australia, decided to undertake the experiment after enjoying a few beers on Sunday evening, Victoria Police said in a statement.

What's the equivalent? "Hey, y'all hold my Fosters and watch this shit"? I'm trying to figure out which of the laws of physics are different in Australia if they actually had to question whether getting shot in the ass with an air rifle pellet would hurt. Is gun. Is not safe. Even air gun. It appears that Julie doesn't know these cretins...

Here's the real knee-slapper:
Police said one of the men will have his firearms license withdrawn and his firearms confiscated.

Ha! Those crazy Australians! Where do they think they are, Massachusetts?

That is all.

The Aussie beer is a little stouter, I'm thinking, than American beer.

Too bad no one filmed it. It would have done quite well on YouTube.

Might not have been beer, they drink a lot of hard stuff, and they can drink a whole lot of it! Never actually seen an Aussie drink Fosters, but their beer is stouter, they think American beer is piss. Carlton Draught and Crown Lager are my favorites. They call Victoria Bitters (VB, horibble crap in my opinion) Visitors' Beer.

This situation would make a great "Foster's" commercial:

"How ta speak Asstraylian:"

(showing two idjits shooting each other in the rump)

"Stupid."

(show can of product)

"Beeah."

Sales would soar, I'm sure.

JayG, if i DID know them, they'ld be getting more than a slug in the butt!!!!!!!

The story really goes to show that alcohol and guns are never a good mix.

So did it hurt?

But since they live below the Equator in an upside down country ( as Jeremy Clarkson would say), didn't they really try to do a double suicide by shooting each other in the head? Not uncommon for those suffering from Cranium-Rectal Inversion Syndrome.
